Costa Peru has been bookmarked in my Yelp list for a while, and on my birthday, my mom asked where…read moreI wanted to go for dinner. Milford's restaurant week was happening, and Costa Peru was on my list, so I decided to go there. My family ordered seafood, while I went with the Peruvian Chicken Wings topped with Peruvian Barbecue sauce, Ceviche Chicken Wings, and Lomo Salado. I was particularly curious about the Ceviche wings because I'd never heard of them before. The ceviche sauce is inspired by Aji Limo Ceviche, a lively Peruvian dish featuring fresh, raw white fish like sea bass or flounder "cooked" in lime juice, seasoned with citrusy, spicy Aji Limo peppers, red onions, and cilantro. It's usually served with sweet potato, corn, and leche de tigre (tiger's milk), offering a tart, spicy, and refreshing flavor. The Ceviche wings were fantastic. They had a bright citrus kick, and I could taste all the distinct flavors, including the spices and chilies. They really hit the spot. The barbecue wings were just as enjoyable, with a sweet yet tangy sauce and perfectly seasoned chicken. The Lomo Salado was also a hit; the rice was fluffy and full of flavor, and the tender Lomo meat practically melted in my mouth. For dessert, I ordered the flan. It was my first time trying it, and I was curious about the taste. Honestly, I didn't care much for the texture, but I'm glad I gave it a shot. My son picked the Passion Fruit Cheesecake, which was pretty good. It's not something I'd order again, but I'm glad I tried it. The service was excellent, and I'm definitely looking forward to returning and trying more dishes from the menu.

I ordered the Beef Lomo Saltado, which comes with beef tenderloin stir fried with onions, tomatoes, and cilantro, served alongside rice and French fries. The flavor was definitely there. The beef was tender, well seasoned, and the classic combination of savory beef with the sautéed vegetables hit the spot. My only disappointment was the portion size. For the price, I expected a little more food. I also tried the house green hot sauce. It added some flavor, but I was hoping for more heat. It leaned tangier than spicy, so if you like a bold kick, you may find it a bit mild. Overall, the food was tasty, and I'd be open to coming back to try other dishes to stay. I just hope the portions are a little more generous next time.

The place feels cold and careless such as the decorations are falling out. Dirty tables, the floor too. I will not go back to Icaru until the know customers are valuable.

They cleared the area of dirty dishes but just never came back for ordering more or getting check. Quite an effort to leave. Place was not full when I arrived but packed when I left at 7 on a Tuesday.

I was excited to try this place given their excessive bragging about their Birria. We made a…read morereservation for 10 and showed up on time but had to wait for our table. When we got inside I was overwhelmed by how loud the music was. We couldn't even talk amongst our table without borderline yelling and I couldn't hear the waiter unless she was next to me. The food was good but not mouthwatering like I anticipated. The consome was too sweet for my liking but the Birria was definitely tender so they have that going. One of our orders of empanadas came out wrong. I ordered chicken and it came out as beef. The elote dip was 2/5. Not worth the price tag. Overall the servers were great but the food was just good. It great. Wouldn't be on my list of places to go again.

We were in the neighborhood and the delicious smell coming from this place caught our attention. We…read morestopped in and had a wonderful experience. For starters we had an empanada made from plantain, it was very good, made better with a sauce they gave us. Next we shared a plate called Picada which was various types of fried meats which was excellent. It contained pork, chicken, beef and a type of sausage. It was served with tostones (fried green plantains). The serving was huge. We loved most of it, except for the beef, personally I like it more rare and it was over done. The restaurant has an extensive menu with breakfast, lunch and dinner options. When you enter don't be surprise if it looks like a corner store, they do have tables set up to eat in or takeout.

Eating through South America via Bridgeport. Tried Ecuadorean food and definitely a right choice…read more Big menu and a breakfast option, had the hot sweet corn drink with milk and it's delicious. Place is small, clean and comfortable. Parking is tricky. Ok enough about the establishment, let's chat food. So I ordered the fried steak with rice and beans but substituted the beans with avocado. When my food came out, it was like a 5 course meal. Seriously too much food for one person but hey a girl's got to eat - so not complaining because I definitely eat. This dish also came with an empanada (made with green plantains and dough mixture, tasted like oh so sweet butter!) Different from other empanadas and pastilles but in a good way. My lunch amigas ordered vegetarian option for empanada and Ecuadorean version of tamales. And banana plantain stuffed with crumbled cheese. Next time, we will make room for dessert and will continue this review for sure!

I still order cases of salsa shipped from Las Cruces because I've never found anything on the east coast that comes close - until now. Green Chilitos is the real thing. The tacos, the homemade salsas, the queso, the black bean dip was amazing. The guy who owns it really cares... Portions are REALLY big - like leftover lunch big and terrific. The space is small and simple - don't come here for the ambiance. but the food is really the star. One humble suggestion for GC (I decided to give it a nickname)... throw up a BYOB sign out front. This is Fairfield. We will show up with a bottle of wine faster than you can say guacamole. A sign in the window could change your business overnight. Again, awesome - you should go - or take out (but really go, and bring a bottle...)

I am biased bc I truthfully have not tried every P.R. restaurant in Bridgeport, CT. However what I love most about Coquito is there yellow arroz con condules. OMG! So flavorful and the taste of the sofrito comes through in there rice every time for me. I crave their rice. Okay enough let me get to the food we ate today. The steak was VERY tender and flavorful. Rice and beans are always cooked well. Not overcooked or undercooked. Perfect on the flavor. The bacaloa was delicious and paired WELL with the monfongo y camarones. Oh man, when we ordered it we went early to get seating and the chef said im gonna make it. She asked if we wanted it on a plate and we said yes. Oh boy the sauce ughhhh was ahmazingly garlicky and seasoned well. The cilantro notes came through. It was my 1st time having it but my fiancé 2nd and it did not disappoint. We came in for monfongo y camarones, we planned for the surf n turf, but changed it for the pepper steak with yellow rice beans. We also ordered the bacalao with yellow rice once i discovered they had it on the menu. We also ordered two beverages with coconut milk or coconut juice with coconut coquito and parcha juice with coconut coquito (co-workers recommendation). I don't know what this is called though. This is soooo refreshing. I've seen people ordered this so many times and never knew it was this amazingly delicious! The service is always good when I come here. I've been coming here since their old location and i must admit the service and food have definitely came a long way. Good ambiance. We did have to go early to avoid long lines and open availability for table and booth access to dine in as well as parking. This is a frequent P.R.restaurant I visit and so far my favorites have been the yellow rice, carne fritas, pastelios, pepper steak, and bacalao. I also tried the Jibarito which was delicious
